UNION AND CONFEDERATE ARMIES. 


1861-1865. 


CIRCULAR.] 

DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK. 


The Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies consist of four series, an Atlas and a 
General Index, namely: 

Series I.—Embraces the formal reports, both Union and Confederate, of the first seizures of 
United States property in the Southern States, and of all military operations in the field, with the 
correspondence, orders and returns relating specially thereto, accompanied by an Atlas. It consists 
of Volumes I to LIII, comprising one hundred and eleven books, and the Atlas. 

Series II.—Contains the correspondence, orders, reports and returns, Union and Confederate, 
relating to prisoners of war and (so far as the military authorities were concerned) to state and political 
prisoners. It consists of eight books, designated as Volumes I to VIII (or Serial Nos. 114 to 121). 

Series III.—Contains the correspondence, orders, reports and returns of the Union authorities 
(embracing their correspondence with the Confederate officials) not relating specially to the subjects 
of the first and second series. It sets forth the annual and special reports of the Secretary of War, of 
the General in Chief, and of the chiefs of the several staff corps and departments; the calls for troops 
and the correspondence between the National and several State authorities. This series consists of 
five books, numbered as Volumes I to V (or Serial Nos. 122 to 126). I 

Series IV.—Exhibits the correspondence, orders, reports and returns of the Confederate authori¬ 
ties with regard to the same subjects as those embraced in the third series. It consists of three books, 
designated as Volumes I to III (or Serial Nos. 127 to 129). / 

The Atlas. —Contains 178 plates, consisting of several hundred maps of battlefields pf the war, 
routes of march of the armies, plans of forts, etc., and a number of photographic views of prominent 
scenes, places and objects. 

General Index. —A general index to the entire work, together with an appendix containing 
additions and corrections of errors discovered in the several volumes after publication. It consists 
of one book, bearing only the serial number 130. 

With the exception of Volumes LIV and LV, as described in black-faced type below, Series I, 
II, III, IV, the General Index and the Atlas have been published, and comprise 128 books exclusive 
of the Atlas. ■>>,»», > »>, » » 

fPJ?" Volumes LIV and LV (Serial Nos. 112 and lt3) have not; published, and no 
material for them is in hand. These numbers are reserved for volumes to contain such 
additional matter as it may be decided to publish in future,, ;but tlleyvtfdU fcte issued unless 
sufficient material to justify their publication shall be S/QC^ired. , ..*If- , i , t , -:i^.8ebiiied’hereafter to

REGULATIONS RELATING TO DISTRIBUTION AND SALE. 


No copies of these records are available for free distribution to libraries, organizations or individ¬ 
uals, and they can be obtained only by purchase at the prices given in this circular or by designation 
of some member of Congress who has not exhausted his allotment for distribution. 

Under the regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War relating to the distribution of these 
records, a person, library or organization designated under the law to receive them became entitled 
to a complete set of the publication. As far as practicable these regulations have been carried out, 
and where, by reason of loss of post-office address or otherwise, any volumes have not been forwarded 
from this office and therefore have not been received by the beneficiary, the missing volumes will be 
supplied if applied for within reasonable time. 

Volurnes that have been sent to the address of any person, library or organization, and have not 
been returned to the War Department, can not be replaced except by sale at the prices given in this 
circular. 

The act of Congress approved August 7, 1882, provides that “the remaining copies (700) of the 
eleven thousand to be published, * * * shall be sold by the Secretary of War for cost of publica¬ 

tion with ten per cent, added thereto, and the proceeds of such sale shall be covered into the Treasury.’' 
In accordance with the above, all libraries, organizations or individuals desiring the work, or any 
part of it, will be supplied at the prices stated. Orders will be promptly filled, by registered mail, 
upon receipt of remittances covering the cost. A list of all the volumes and parts, including the Atlas, 
will be found on pages 4 to 8 of this circular. For the convenience of librarians and owners of sets, 
check lists of books and maps are printed on pages 8 to 10. 

All communications respecting the purchase or binding of books or Atlas should be addressed to 
the “Chief of the Record and Pension Office, War Department, Washington, D. C.,” and when 
any part of the publication, or binding thereof, is desired a United States postal money order, payable 
to the “Chief of the Record and Pension Office,” or currency for the exact amount by registered mail, 
must be sent at the same time. Bank checks and postage stamps forwarded in payment for this work 
will, in all cases, be returned to the sender. 


BINDING. 


The volumes of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies were delivered at the 
War Department in plain black muslin binding, and the Atlas in paper covers or sheets, in which 
form the books and maps were distributed. Many who have received the publication have applied to 
the War Department for permission to return their copies for the purpose of having: them bound in 
durable form, and this office has made arrangements with the Public Printer to bind them at the 
following prices: 

Volumes, $1.00 for each book. 

Atlas, in two parts, on paper guards, $8.00. 

Atlas, in three parts, on paper guards, $12.00. 

Atlas, in two parts, on linen guards, $9.00. 

Atlas, in three parts, on linen guards, $13.50. 

These prices are for binding in half-turkey morocco, color red or brown. Before returning the 
Atlas it should be compared carefully with the check list of plates printed on page 10 of this circular, 
and 10 cents must be remitted for each missing plate, and 25 cents for the table of contents and index. 
Books or maps must be sent by express, charges prepaid, addressed to the “Chief of the Record and 
Pension Office, War Department, Washington, D. C.,” and when rebound they will be returned to 
owners without cost for transportation.

CHECK EISTS OF BOOKS AND MAPS. 

For the convenience of librarians and owners of sets, check lists of books and maps follow on 
pages 9 and 10, respectively. Each book in the entire work is marked on the back as follows: 1st, 
with the number designating the series (first, second, third or fourth) to which the volume belongs; 
2d, with the volume number of that series; 3d, with the part number of the volume (where the volume 
consists of more than one book or part). Roman numerals are used to designate the several series, 
volumes and parts. In addition, each book after Volume XXIII bears a serial, running or book 
number in arabic figures, which simply designates the position of that particular book in the entire 
work and has no connectiQn with the roman numerals used to designate the four series and the various 
volumes and parts into which the work is divided. The first thirty-five books (Volumes I to XXIII) 
are not marked with the serial or running numbers assigned to them in this circular, but those 
numbers, as stated above, appear on all later books, beginning with Volume XXIV, Part I, to which 
book the serial or running number 36 has been assigned. The serial or running numbers of all the 
books from 1 to 130 are given in the following table, although corresponding numbers will not be 
found printed on the first thirty-five books:
